Ravindra Jadeja vs Bishan Singh Bedi




Ravindra Jadeja has achieved a significant milestone in the ongoing third Test against New Zealand, surpassing the record of the legendary Indian spinner Bishan Singh Bedi. Here are the key points of his achievement:

Twin Five-Wicket Hauls

Jadeja took two five-wicket hauls in the same Test match, a feat that has earned him a place in an elite list of Indian cricketers. In the first inning, he took 5 wickets for 65 runs in 22 overs, and in the second inning, he claimed another 5 wickets for 55 runs.

Record Break

This performance has taken Jadeja's total number of five-wicket hauls in Test cricket to 15, surpassing Bishan Singh Bedi's tally of 14. Bedi had achieved his 14 five-wicket hauls in 67 Test matches, while Jadeja has reached this mark in 77 Test matches.

Career Milestones

Jadeja's twin five-wicket hauls in this Test also marked his third 10-wicket haul in a Test match. Only a few Indian bowlers have achieved this feat more times, including R Ashwin (8 times), Anil Kumble (8 times), and Harbhajan Singh (5 times)


World Test Championship Performance

Jadeja's overall wicket tally in the World Test Championship (WTC) has now risen to 127, ahead of Jasprit Bumrah's 124 wickets. This performance has been crucial in the context of the WTC.


Impact on the Match

Jadeja's efforts helped India restrict New Zealand to 174 runs in the second inning, setting a target of 147 runs for India to win the Test and avoid a clean sweep.


This achievement solidifies Jadeja's position as one of the top all-rounders in international cricket and highlights his significant contributions to the Indian cricket team.
